| We need more of the " Mishe Fon" type here on this forum to help educate all the doubting and confused Tomas.I once once read that The Cameroons was the most Literate Nation in Africa.It is very very disturbing that citizens of La Republique du Cameroun here on this God guided forum meant for Southern Cameroonians for purpose of discuss and sensitization,etc,are disagreeing that there are "Two Cameroons". Ofcourse,they should be confuse because their leaders have as mission,to distort the history of The Cameroons.From La Republique du Cameroun at Independent to Federal Republic(que) du/of Camero(u)on,then United Republic(que) du/of Camero(u)on and now back to her original name as gained on 01/January/1960.Their hands are getting tired and dirty,and the hammer of Justice will hit very soon. Why would some of these Tomas not ask themselves as to what happened that,suddenly,after decades,Biya will come on CRTV and announced to the wider world on New Years'eve of 2010 that hence forth National Day will be celebrated yearly on January 01st?.What has happen with the usual 20th May? You can't count how many of them who have gained asylum claiming they are Anglophone Cameroonians. Why wena toomuch wan fo gum with we so? God has already blessed The Southern Cameroons.
Long Live Southern Cameroons-Amen Fai Ngahchangong.

Dear Patrick Fosso
Anglophone are Cameroonians who live in Southern Cameroon, and have a British cultural, political and social heritage. Their way of thinking, living, behaving is different from that of their Francophone brothers, who live, think and behave like French. So, you can speak English without be Anglophone. Do you think that a Bamenda man who speaks and even writes French is Francophone? No. My good Friend Boh Herbert speaks and writes French than most average Francophone with university Degree. But he still Anglophone and proud of it
I have members of my family (from Haut Nkam origin) who have been living in Kumba for 40 years now. Every time we meet for family meeting, you can clearly see the difference. We are not the same family any more, on the cultural and social point of view.
Thanks

Sir you are in the dictinary NOT with Cameroon realitiy. Anglophoe = someone whose original tribe is within the now called North West and South West Regions. It has nothing to do with your learning Englsh. Please could you really be serious! For this is the rublish we have been told for long time!

Hello my dears, I have been reading the comments of people here about this important issue. At the beguinning i refused to react but some point of view, i don't share, obliged me to contribute to this debate. First of all when we talk about anglophone we reffer to a person who identifies himself as using the english language as mean of communication. this "anglophone" terminology had a meaning in the past since cameroon was divided into two groups of people: Some speaking french and others speaking english. But nowadays, due to the dynamism of the population and the possibility for any parent to choose the appropriate educational system for his children, the anglophone terminology is gradually loosing its substance or its meaning. The cameroonian from the north will send his children to english schools and they will become bilingual. Cameroonian from the NW or SW region born in yaoundé or douala and growing up in a bilingual environment will be using both languages with the same importance. I myself i studied bilingual studies at the university of yaoundé as many classmates and we spend a semester in Bamenda for studies. We have parents from both sides of cameroon. What is the meaning of the terms "Anglophone" and "Francophone" for the new generation of cameroonians, i mean the young generation? My answer? they are meaningless. They belong to the past. The modern cameroonian is bilingual if not multilingual. He speaks french,english, pidgin camfranglais and cameroonian languages and that makes his pride when he is talking to people from other countries who speak only one language. We want to be called cameroonians. We want to be given a chance to live in a peaceful world. Our nation is only 51 years old and we want to grow by solving our problems gradually. But please let us not fight the "wrong ennemy" "Ne combattons pas le faux combat". Très fraternellement!!! Patrick Fosso De : Azeh Muma <azehmuma@yahoo.co.uk>

Please my Francophones Cameroonians the truth is and remains that before this Government in Cameroon appoints somebody the check to see that you are from the former LRC, if it is English then they look for someonewho is of that origin and speak English if not how can you explain that ALL Ambassadors in English speaking countries are francophones USA, UK, Canada, Nigeria, South Africa etc. Honestly for any person of LRC origin whether with an anglophone culture to REFUSED that there is not anglophone maginalisation s/he is a devil!

Cameroon in one country, one nation and one people. I'm bamileke and I don't know what is anglophone and what is francophone. Anglophone are free to learn and speak french as well as francophone are free to learn and speak english and get equal chances and advantages.

Please Mr Ntep what you say is quite true. But honestly there is an anglophone problem which Mr Biya is very much aware of. In fact that was even why he came to power because he made Mr Ahidjo - whose main problem at that time was the integration of the two Cameroon- believed that he could manage that situation. This brought about the 20th may 1972 supposed peaceful revolution. Ahidjo had faith in him. After when he took over office strange enough he never appeared to the field for the 20th may match past as if to show the anglophones he sympathized with them and that 20th may was out of place. In fact strange because he was one of the main actors. To win the anglophones confidence he went further to visit Bamenda as the first place in Cameroon and further Nigeria out of Cameroon. These instances made the right thinking Anglophone to believe that Mr Biya was for them. But shortly afterward after gaining that confidence he betrayed the Anglophones by transforming that very 20th may a national holiday and 11th february youth day . He went further to declare the Republic making all Anglophone identity lost. Ask a young Cameroonian what is the significance of 11th february he will never say plebiscite because he does not know - a people s history lost. If you have ever worked in Cameroon- as I have done- you will know that the Anglophones place is that of almost slavery. He is a very good technician but can never be given room to any decision making - sad. You need to be there - they are second class citizens. This has made the Cameroonians from the francophone regions who have studied english - like the people of the 11th province take much advantage. They will declare at every juncture their anglophone seemingly background but will be preferred by their brothers the francophones. So you see there is a big problem. When you want to go further they will bring the problem of minority in the Cameroonian context. Here they coin it now to tribal minority and never talking of West Cameroon which joined their eastern counterpart after they - eastern - had their independence in 1960 excluding the Anglophone. And these very anglophones came in as a federated state.
People of Cameroon why do we pretend there is no problem. Tell me when an Anglophone can be a president?

A Tous bonsoir permettez S'il vous plait de reagir dans ce debat, non en tant que francophone mais plutot en tant que Camerounais et j'allais dire mieux , Africain et citoyen de ce monde. a Mr Mishe qui a initie ce debat se trompe de cible, on ne peut pas vouloir renverser Biya et se plaindre de tous les "francophones", qui sont au depart des Africains comme tout le reste, c'est donner trop d'importance a cette categorie de personnes. La realite est la, des 2 cotes: Anglos et francos, souffrent dans une misere indescriptible... et biensure des 2 cotes , il faut reconnaitre que,d'aucun ont bien beneficie des aides du leadership "Francophone" en place , des bourses ... pour se rendrent aux USA, en Europe...et d;ailleurs continuent meme.. je crois sincerement que Mr Mishe se trompe de cible, Puisque Biya avec l'aide de ces parrains nous ont depasse ( Francos/Anglos), a defaut d'obliger Biya a quitter le pouvoir,laisser ce Mr mourrir de sa propre mort et,a partir de la, esperer un changement , j'espere veritabe et benefique pour tous les Camerounais des 4 coins. Pour moi, que le Prochain President soit du NW, SW C, N, je m'en tape pourvu que nous avancions dans un pays Pleinement libre et democratique. Cette culpabilisation recurrente de certain freres anglophones me fait penser aux reactions de certain de nos freres de la diaspora qui nous accusent de les avoir vendus....Au lieu de pleurer , et toujours culpabiliser les autres, trouvons ensemble le moyen d'avancer pour notre bien et biensure celui de l'Humanite Tous mes respects et bonne soiree aux membres de ce Forum.
